LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. 



U. S. Department op Agriculture, 

Bureau of Statistics, 
Washington, D. C, June 30, 1912. 
Sir: So frequent are the demands for a list of the agricultural 
fairs of this country that this bureau feels more than justified in 
offering the accompanying compilation for publication. The labor 
and expense required were not excessive and the list, subject to 
revision every few years, will doubtless constitute a permanent publi- 
cation of the department. 

It is respectfully recommended that it be published as Bulletin 102 
of this bureau. 

Very respectfully, 

Victor H. Olmsted, 

Chief of Bureau. 
Hon. James Wilson, 

Secretary of Agriculture.

LIST OF AGRICULTURAL FAIRS AND EXHIBITIONS 
IN THE UNITFD STATES. 



BRIEF HISTORY. 
ANCIENT ORIGIN. 

The agricultural fair of the United States, generally exemplified 
by the county fair, had its remote origin in the temporary assem- 
blages of traders or producers in the ancient world for the purpose 
of selling their wares to the customers who assembled to meet them. 
Man}^ of these fairs of the ancient pattern are found in Europe and 
Asia, somewhat changed, perhaps, from their original nature, but 
yet remaining fairs for purchase and sale. 

In the course of time the ancient fair was changed into a fair at 
which there were competitive exhibitions of domestic animals or 
various products, with an underlying purpose of sale of the articles 
exhibited and particularly the more excellent ones. This has espe- 
cially been the case with live-stock " shows" in England. 

BEGINNINGS IN THE UNITED STATES. 

The agricultural fair began in this country fully divorced from 
commercialism. It was purely educational in its purpose and was 
intended to stimulate farmers to improve their live stock, their 
domestic manufactures, and their agriculture. Several prominent 
agricultural associations were established in the eighteenth century 
for educational purposes, but without holding fairs or exhibitions. 
The fair had an interesting origin early in the nineteenth century. 

AT WASHINGTON, D. C. 

The agricultural fair of the United States had its inception in 
the District of Columbia. In 1804 it was suggested by Dr. Thornton, 
the first Commissioner of Patents, that the ready sale of cattle and 
domestic products in the National Capital could be promoted by 
the holding of fairs or market da}^s, as in England, his native land. 
The idea met with warm approval on the part of the citizens, and 
the municipal authorities passed an act establishing semiannual fairs. 
An editorial article in the National Intelligencer of October 17, 1S04, 

7 



8 AGEICULTUEAL FAIRS AND EXHIBITIONS IN UNITED STATES. 

spoke of the coming fair as offering advantages to purchasers and 
to settlers, " while at the same time it could but prove equally 
beneficial to the agricultural interests of our country." 

The fair was held on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, "on the 
Mall on the south side of the Tiber, extending from the bridge at 
the Center Market to the Potomac." "It was a decided success," 
and before the next one was held an attempt was made by addi- 
tional legislation on the part of the city government to increase its 
usefulness by appropriating $50 toward a fund for premiums. The 
citizens raised by subscription an equal sum, so that at the fair 
which began on April 26, 1805, "premiums to the amount of $100 
were awarded to the best lamb, sheep, steer, milch cow, jack, oxen, 
and horse actually sold." A third fair was held in November, 1805, 
after which these market fairs were discontinued. 

"SHEEP SHEARINGS" AT "ARLINGTON," VA. 

More closely related to the inception of the fair movement in 
this country were the annual "sheep shearings" established and 
continued for a dozen years by George Washington Parke Custis, at 
"Arlington," his estate opposite Washington, D. C, on the Virginia 
side of the Potomac. 

In 1866, Ben: Perley Poore, a noted writer of that time, in writing 
of these sheep shearings, comments that "those associated with 
him [Mr. Custisl in after life in the United States Agricultural 
Society will not wonder that large collections of prominent men 
used to accept his hospitable invitation to be present at these gath- 
erings, where he entertained his guests beneath the marquee used 
throughout the Revolution by his illustrious guardian, George 
Washington." A program of one of these rural festivals, as pub- 
lished in a Georgetown newspaper of the day, follows: 

Premiums at Arlington on the 30th of April, 1809. 



For the best tup-lamb, of 1 year, a silver cup; value, $60. 
For the best pair of ewes, of same age, a silver cup; value, $40. 

principle established. 

To the sheep which shall possess the best form, and yield the most and best wool 
in proportion to its size, the premium will be adjudged. 

To the man (being a native American) who shall clip a fleece in the shortest time 
and best style, by clipping after the English fashion, $5. 

MANUFACTURES. 

For the national military dress, or uniform of Morgan's riflemen, with a complete 
statement of the exoense accompanying the same, $20. 



AGRICULTURAL FAIRS AND EXHIBITIONS IN UNITED STATES. 9 

For the best 5 yards of cloth, yard wide, and composed of cotton and silk — the 
silk to be derived from articles which have been worn otit, as gloves, umbrellas, 
etc.— $15. 

For the best blanket of common size, $10. 

For the best 5 yards of flannel, to be all wool, $10. 

For the best ball of wool yarn, weighing 1 pound, which shall be spun to the greatest 
fineness on a wheel, to be ascertained by weighing any 10 yards in the ball, $5. 

To that family, in the county of Alexandria, who shall make it appear that they 
have made the greatest quantity of wearing apparel of domestic manufactures, and 
used the least of foreign importations, the largest prize fleece. 

To that family, in said county, who shall prove that to a given number of female 
children, the most are good spinners, the next largest fleece. 

To the cultivator of the soil, in said county, who shall prove that he has manured 
most land from his own resources, in the last 12 months, toll free at the Washington 
Mills for one year. 

Washington, November 20, 1808. 

It is very probable that the " sheep shearings" at " Arlington" 
were the germ of the first agricultural fair in this country, organized 
in 1809, when its first fair was held. 

COLUMBIAN AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, WASHINGTON, D. C. 

In 1809 a number of gentlemen interested in agriculture, residing 
in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, after several 
meetings, organized the Columbian Agricultural Society. The first 
exhibition was held at the Union Hotel, Georgetown, on the 10th 
of May. It was (said the National Intelligencer of the following 
Friday) " attended by a numerous assemblage of members of the 
society, among whom we noticed the President and his lady, the 
Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of 
War, the comptroller, register, etc., and many other ladies and 
gentlemen of respectability. This is the first exhibition held by 
the society, which bids fair to exceed anything of the kind in the 
United States, and promises to be of great utility in the promotion 
of the agricultural arts, and particularly of the domestic manufac- 
tures of cotton, wool, and flax, by exciting a competition which can 
not but be productive of good effects. 

" There were exhibited a great number of sheep of the best breeds, 
among which were several half and three-quarter breed merinos. 
At half past 11 o'clock the room for the exhibition of domestic 
fabrics was thrown open, when many specimens were displayed 
highly honorable to the industry and ingenuity of those who pro- 
duced them, and gratifying to those who have at heart the cultiva- 
tion of the resources of the country. Some specimens of diaper, 
bed ticking, and cotton bagging were particularly admired as equal 
to any imported. The result of the day was highly pleasing to all 
concerned; and the auspicious commencement of this patriotic 
64267°— 13 2

institution furnishes another, in addition to the many evidences 
alread} r existing, of the public spirit of the District." 

The second exhibition of this society was held in what was then 
known as Parrott's grove, on the heights of Georgetown. The 
National Intelligencer of November 22, 1809, says of it: "The 
second semiannual exhibition of the Columbian Agricultural Society 
was held at Georgetown yesterday. A large concourse of members 
and visitors, with their ladies and families, were present. Among 
the visitors were the President and family, the Postmaster General, 
the treasurer, the auditor, the Russian minister, mayor, Mr. Barlow, 
Mr. Irving, and many other ladies and gentlemen of respectability. 
Owing to the late inclemency of the season, but few cattle were 
exhibited; but, to compensate for this deficiency, there was a great 
quantity of cotton and woolen domestic fabrics, comprehending 
much good cloth, blanketing, carpeting, hosiery, and so forth. The 
blanketing appeared to be most admired, though much praise was 
given to several pieces of cloth and carpeting." 

The third semiannual exhibition of this society was held May 16, 
1811, in Parrott's grove, and in its report of the exhibition the 
National Intelligencer of the next day says: "It was attended, as 
usual, by several hundred of the most respectable ladies and gentle- 
men in the District and neighboring counties of Virginia and Mary- 
land, among whom were the President, heads of departments, and 
generally all the prominent officers of the Government, the French 
minister, and our minister to France. The show of sheep — merino, 
mixed blood, and natives — was said to be as numerous and respectable 
as any ever seen in the country. The manufactures, exclusively 
domestic, attracted much attention. The premiums were distributed 
as awarded by the judges. The pleasantness of the day, the nature 
of the ground, shaded with forest trees; the fragrance of the flowers, 
with the various entrances to the inclosure decorated, the presence of 
the music, and the good humor and gaiety which it contributed to 
diffuse, rendered the meeting unusually agreeable." 

On November 20, 1811, the fourth semiannual exhibition of this 
society was held in Georgetown, and was fully reported in the 
National Intelligencer. The following is an extract from the report : 
"The day was rainy, and therefore unfavorable to the exhibition, 
especially of cattle. Of above 100 that had been brought into the 
town and neighborhood, not more than 6 or 8 were exhibited, the 
state of the weather rendered it so inconvenient. The cattle 
exhibited attracted general notice, especially an extraordinary steer, 
raised by Mr. Steinberger, of Shenandoah County, Va. This animal 
is believed to be the largest ever raised in Virginia; it is supposed he 
will weigh 2,700 pounds on the hoof and near 2,000 pounds net beef.

The show of domestic manufactures could not but be pleasing to 
every person present. The specimens of woolen cloth, blankets, 
flannels, kerseymeres, carpets, fancy patterns, cotton cloths, etc., 
evinced the progress which our citizens are making in this branch of 
economy. Many of the articles were judged to be equal, some were 
thought superior, to imported fabrics of the same kind." 

The fifth semiannual exhibition of the Columbian Agricultural 
Society was held in Georgetown, May 20, 1812, and the sixth one was 
held November 18 in the same year. Unfortunately the war with 
England overshadowed everything else and, as the time had expired 
for which the society had been organized, it was dissolved. 

BERKSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY, PITTSFEELD, MASS. 

It has generally been believed that the first agricultural fair in this 
country was that of the Berkshire Agricultural Society at Pittsfield, 
Mass., in 1810. The fact remains, however, that the Berkshire Agri- 
cultural Society held its first fair before any other present-existing 
agricultural society. 

CHANGES IN CHARACTER OF FAIRS. 

MOVEMENT AWAY FROM EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. 

In the course of time the educational features of the agricultural 
fair in this country were compelled to admit the attraction of horse 
racing, and eventually, so prominent did horse racing become, that 
much opposition was developed, and the opposition was not entirely 
to gambling on the races. Racing, however, was not suppressed, and 
it is still a prominent feature of agricultural fairs. 

Another intrusion into the educational purposes of the fair, becom- 
ing prominent long after horse racing had become so, was composed 
of shows in small tents, open-air exhibits for amusement or excite- 
ment, various gambling games, among which, at one time, was the 
"shell game," and numerous devices of " fakirs" to amuse and excite, 
if not fleece, the attendants at the fairs. 

These features of the agricultural fair, in the course of time, 
dominated the educational features in many instances, and it is only 
in recent years that efforts have been made to reduce these distrac- 
tions and restore the agricultural fair largely to its original purpose. 

A difficulty that the managing fair committee has had to face has 
been, as it still is, the raising of sufficient income to pay premiums 
and other expenses. Partly for this reason fair managers have made 
the most of their opportunities to provide amusements for the purpose 
of raising revenue, and, in the case of many fairs, they have not 
refrained from pursuing this policy to the limit.

NUMBER OF AGRICULTURAL FAIRS AND EXHIBITIONS. 
GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION. 

The societies that hold regular fairs and exhibitions, in the list 
following, have been classified and counted, with results that may be 
found in the accompanying table. It appears in this table that the 
total number of fairs in the list is 2,740. Among the geographic 
divisions, the largest number, 704, is found in the East North Central 
group of States, and the West North Central group of States follows 
in order with 573 societies. Third in order is the Middle Atlantic 
group of States with 372 societies; fourth, New England, with 229 
societies; fifth, South Atlantic, with 211 societies, after which fol- 
low the East South Central States, with 198 societies; the Pacific 
States, with 140; the West South Central States, with 140; and the 
Mountain States, with 107 societies. 

CLASSIFICATION BY AREA COVERED. 

In asking the societies to supply the facts required for this list, 
they were requested to specify their geographic scope, and the 1 
answers have been tabulated as given. The various totals of the 
reports place the number of societies holding international fairs and 
exhibitions at 102; the national ones at 129; the interstate ones at 
200; the State ones at 155; the intercounty at 4GG; county, 839; 
local, 250; and still there remain 599 for which no report was obtained, 

CLASSIFICATION BY KIND OF EXHIBIT. 

The associations in this list have been classified according to the ' 
kind of their exhibit. Those that hold fairs or exhibitions devoted to 
general agriculture number 1,647; horticulture, 80; floriculture, 13; 
corn, 4; live stock, 22; horses, 81; poultry, 685; poultry and pigeons, 
19; poultry and pet stock, 86; poultry, pigeons, and pet stock, 21; 
dogs, 74; apiculture, 1; and dairy products, 7. 

PERCENTAGE TABLES. 

The numbers of the associations, classified according to the geo- 
graphic scope of their fairs and exhibitions and also according to the 
kind of exhibit, have been converted into percentages, which may be 
found in the accompanying tables.
